Function Recursion - Counting 'Depth'

figment

Hello:

I am attempting to write an array diagnostic tool, to display the contents of an array, be it 1-dimensional, or N-dimensional.

Im using a function that calls itself again if the current value in the foreach loop is an array. Is there a way I can count how 'deep' or how many times the function has been called from within itself.. like how many function calls are stacked on one another?
The end goal is to echo the output to HTML and I want to put N number of spaces in front of the output depending on hwo deep it is, so that i can read the output.

Here is what i have so far.

What you have should work if you fix the function declaration to have the second parameter you are passing it.

Hmmm...
an array diagnostic tool that displays the array content, but does not act on it.

If you just want a tool for an array to be output...

<? print_r($array); ?>

And there you have it.

Why rewrite what has already been written for you?

It recurses just fine, but i want the output to print in a 'tree' view, I could pass a second value, kinda like a count variable... but I havent figured out how to make that value smart.

Simply, I'm trying to make it so that the 'stack' can go up, down, and up again, and im not stuck with a 'count' value that only increases or decreases....

key:value

This is the kind of HTML output im hoping to achieve.

function arydig($aryArray, $ArrayName = NULL, $Depth = NULL){
	if (is_array($aryArray)){
